HANGING DOORS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.,234,703, dated November 23, 1880.

Application filed July El, 1880.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WV. F. BEERY, of Notlaway Mills, in the county of Page and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hanging Doors, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective view of a door having my improved attachment. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view, and Figs. et and 5 are details.

Corresponding parts in the several tigures are denoted by like letters of reference.

This invention relates to certain improvements in door-hanging devices, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out iu the cia-im.

Ain the drawings is the door-fraine, the top and side of which are provided with recesses B O, in which are adjustable sliding pieces D E, to the edge of which latter, E, the door F is hinged. able in the recess B, where it is retained by means of two clamping-screws, G, passing through vertical slots H in said piece D. At its inner end the said piece is provided with a slide, I, of sheet metal or other suitable material, adjustable by a set-screw, J, so as to be capable of being moved toward or away from the sliding piece E, to which the door is hinged, and thus close any gap that might otherwise remain between the slides D and E.

The slide E is provided with two oblique slots, K K, faced by or lined with metallic plates provided with a row of teeth or cogs, L,

rIhe piece D is vertically adjust- (No model.)

engaging pinions or semi-pinions M, formed upon disks N, and sunk in suitable recesses in the jamb, as shown. The said disks N are provided with milled thumb-pieces S, by means of which they may be readily turned toadjust the slide E to any desired position. Through a central perforation in the pinion, disk, and thumb-piece is passed a set-screw, O, which, when tightened, presses against the disk so as to prevent it and the. pinions from revolving. At its lower end the sliding' piece E is pro vided with a slide, P, adjustable against the carpet-stri p by a set-screw, Q.

Vhen in dry or wet weather the door shrinks or expands so as to cause it not to fit in the frame, the sliding pieces D E and the slides upon the same may be easily and quickly adjusted to remedy the defect.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United StatesrIhe combination, with a door-frame, of the vertically-adjustable sliding piece D, having slide I and clamping-screws G, the laterallyadjustable sliding piece E, provided with slide I), and oblique slots K, having cogs L, and the set-screw O, disk N, and pinion M, all con struoted and arranged as shown and described, whereby the size ot' the door-opening is regulated so as to compensate for swelling orshrinkin of the door, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of vtwo witnesses.

WILLIAM F. BEEItY.
